This week, there's a rather sharp-looking 1974 Datsun 620 pickup on eBay that has received quite a few bids. Even though this Datsun is for sale out of Texas, the seller claims that it spent most of its life in Flagstaff, Ariz. This truck is equipped with a few rare options like air conditioning, a tachometer and an automatic transmission. The question of why anyone would need a tachometer in an automatic transmission truck is a good one, but the presence of A/C is a welcome addition -- and the seller claims that it's one of the reasons he originally went all the way out to Arizona... It had this weber carb on it when I got it but I did also get the original carburetor with automatic choke and the original air cleaner. After I switched it back to the weber I read that this was pretty common and some lock-tite can take care of it. I never switched it back but wanted to since I like the original stock look with the air cleaner. The truck received four new tires and a windows-out repaint in 2011, and we have to admit that it does come across rather well even in the eBay listing photos. The seller has replaced the original AM radio with a different unit because the original wasn't working well, and he has installed black carpets instead of the stock rubber. Source: autoweek.com

KBB chose fifteen great family cars that are on offer in the US right now. They rate cars for obvious family-friendly qualities, but those that already possess those and add a dash of extra something are deemed even more praiseworthy. It reportedly retains the safe character of its predecessor, and the functional interior layout, but now it’s been infused with renewed style and fun-to-drive character. Thus, it’s good as way to carry yourself and relatives around, but there’s also that something extra that makes it more enticing than before. Source: www.carscoops.com
